Electronic device is provided. The electronic device comprises: a housing surrounding a space between first and second plates and including a side surface member of which at least a portion includes a conductive section; a communication module; and an antenna structure. The conductive section includes first and second regions formed at a different position. The antenna structure includes a plurality of first slot sets formed in the first region, wherein at least two first slots extending in a first direction combine to form one first slot set and the plurality of first slot sets are formed at first designated intervals in a second direction, and a plurality of second slot sets formed in the second region. At least two second slots extending in the first direction combine to form one second slot set and the plurality of second slot sets are formed at second designated intervals in the second direction.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
3. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein the second slot set formed in the position corresponding to the first slot set is configured in parallel to the second direction and includes a shape symmetrical with the first slot set with respect to a designated point in a virtual line passing through a center of the conductive portion.
6. The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising an extension extending from the conductive portion, the extension formed with at least one surface facing in a direction different from a direction in which a first surface faces.
9. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein at least portion of the plurality of first slot sets further extend on the first extension in a fourth direction, and at least portion of the plurality of second slot sets further extend on the second extension in a direction opposite to the fourth direction.
10. The electronic device of claim 6, further comprising a cover member or a display member covering at least portion of the extension.
11. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of first slot sets forms a first array antenna and the plurality of second slot sets forms a second array antenna.
12. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein at least one first feeding line is disposed in a position couplable with the first slot set and at least one second feeding line is disposed in a position couplable with the second slot set.
13. The electronic device of claim 12, wherein the first feeding line and the second feeding line are configured to independently feed the first slot sets and the second slot sets, respectively.
17. The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the conductive portion surrounds an inner space of the electronic device and includes a first surface facing an outside of the electronic device, and wherein when viewed from above the first surface, the first area includes a partial area of the conductive portion and the second area includes another partial area of the conductive portion divided from the first area with respect to the virtual line passing through the center of the conductive portion.
20. The electronic device of claim 19, wherein the antenna structure is electrically insulated from other portions of the side surface member through a segment.
